That may be the best.  Since I "discovered" early notice of upcoming 
transactions, both today's and future transactions appear in the same list, 
and the only buttons are "OK" or "Cancel"  The ability to edit or delay a 
transaction while entering it seems to be lost.  It is much simpler to edit 
them afterward.
